Champions League: Guardiola desperate to end quarter-final curse

pep-guardiola-man-city

Manchester City manager, Pep Guardiola, is optimistic his players will end their Champions League quarter-final curse under him this year.

City beat Borussia Dortmund 2-1 in the first leg last week.

The Blues have gone out at the quarter-final stage for the past three years, but Guardiola says he trusts them to bring that run to an end tomorrow.

“After 27 wins in 29 games, if I don’t trust them, we have a big problem,” said Guardiola. “I’d be crazy.

“We can win or lose. If we lose, you can kill me, you first. What we’ve done so far, we deserve to be in this position. We know if we win, we go through.

“In the Premier League we need three wins and one draw, as we expect Manchester United to win their last seven games.

“What we’ve done has given us this opportunity. If we go out, we’ll be disappointed, but there’s another opportunity.

“We lost against Lyon. We were better, but we went out. We are going to be in the Champions League for the 11th season in a row next season, so we’ll be there again and that’s fantastic.

“But now is the time to make another step which everyone wants. The players were sad last season and now we have the other opportunity.

“We have to win, we have to do it, nobody will say ‘just go to the semi finals’. We have to do it.

“We’ll see, but I’m so excited and happy to travel to Germany to try to do it and see what happens.”
